<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWhile TikTok allows users to select a personalised username, synchronising your contacts with TikTok will help you connect with mutual friends more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the time of publication, it\u2019s impossible to type in a person’s phone number to display the account linked to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the surest way to find someone on TikTok is via their TikTok handle or profile link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without wasting much time, let\u2019s see how to search for someone on TikTok using their phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Find Someone on Tiktok Using their Phone Number<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before you can be able to search for users using the phone number, you have to make sure the contact is already saved to your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next is to give TikTok the necessary permission it needs to access and scan your contact lists.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nHere\u2019s how to grant TikTok access to your contacts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Go to your settings > Applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Scroll down and tap on TikTok from the list<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Click on Permissions and set \u201cContact<\/strong>\u201d to allow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
This will help TikTok search its database to know if an account is registered with any number found in your contact list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, let\u2019s get started with the finding process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Open your TikTok app and sign in to your account<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Move to the \u201cNow<\/strong>\u201d section, which is right after the home icon<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Tap on the profile icon with a plus sign at the top left side of the page<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You\u2019ll have the option to search for friends, connect with your Facebook friends or find your contacts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Click the \u201cFind<\/strong>\u201d button next to the contact option to proceed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Tap \u201callow or yes<\/strong>\u201d to any other prompt asking you to provide more information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Finally<\/strong>, you can scan the list of available accounts TikTok provides for the person you have in mind.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nAnother way to do this is by asking the recipient for their TikTok username to save you the stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s also important to note that you can\u2019t outrightly search for a TikTok user by inputting their phone number into the search box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, you\u2019ll get a list of random users with phone numbers attached to their profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, there could be a case where the recipient didn\u2019t use the phone number for registering on TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will further make it harder to locate them, even using the TikTok contact search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also try using Facebook if it\u2019ll enhance your search experience and help you connect with mutual friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, TikTok users have the option to make their profile private, which means that only approved followers can see their content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you search for a phone number and the user\u2019s profile appears in the search results, but you are unable to view their content, their account is likely private. In this case, you can send a follow request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
